I don't think I quite made it to the spirituality part of the thread, spirituality I touched on with Paula and Cia (promised to send them PMs when I 'leave'), and I think I got as far as the 'imagery' of fairies and angels, but not the 'spiritual' side of what some people apply to angles, etc. I like the familiar 'visual image' of an angel, but I don't know if I have a stand on the topic of angels themselves.

But spirituality like religion, and music, poetry and art, life in general ... to each their own. And we can respect each others' individual 'take' on it, I'm sure.

I'm not sure about Tchoco's avator either. With or without glasses, I can't read the writing on the bottom of the post (without glasses, I can hardly find the post) so, Lizzy, I'll just agree with you. And Tchoco as well.[/i]

Now that my eyes have re-focued trying to read the printing beneath, I'll just have to say, I like the blinking eyes and the mucical mouth. I have to confess, I cannot read the writing beneath. And I have to say I agree with the post in general (with the possible exception of the part that I can't read).

Yes, now that I'm half-blind from reading your [ahem] note; yes, see you, too.
You have to look at it with tongue in cheek, Elizabeth. 8) and all dear fellow fans. The sunglasses and the chewing of a tie, and the-Holy-Spirit-crying-where's-the-beef-thing. It is just a joke. Another one. I'll change when I'll get tired of it. :D

Okey, dokey. Going a full 360 degrees, I'm still looking for a 'fairy' type of avatar - as in the wallpaper I have on my computer. Very difficult to find one small enough.

Jonnie Falafel- Jonnie- they don't have to lie-they would eat out of the hand who ever feeds them, they love them, wiggling their tails and hanging out their tong. This way-who ever feeds them-they know without saying-dogs don't lie, they just LOVE them, no need to lie, it is obvious.

afterlife?

Post by Sandra »

My death waits like an old roue'
So confident, i'll go his way
Whistle to him
And the passing time...
My death waits like a bible truth
At the funeral of my youth
We drank for that -
The passing time..
My death waits like
A witch at night
As surely as our love is right
Let's not think of that or the passing time

But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do...
Angel or devil, i don't care
For in front of that door...
There is you.

My death waits like a beggar blind
Who sees the world through an unlit mind
Throw him a dime
For the passing time...
My death waits to allow my friends
A few good times
Before it ends
Let's not think about
And the passing time..
My death waits there, between your thighs,
Your cool fingers will close my eyes,
Let's not think about the passing time.

For whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do...
Angel or devil, i don't care
For in front of that door...
There is you.

My death waits there among the leaves
In magician's mysterious sleeves,
Rabbits and dogs, and the passing time...
My death waits there, among the flowers
Where the blackest shadows cowers
So let's pick lilacs
The passing time..
My death waits there, in a double bed
Sails of oblivion and my head
Let's not think about
The passing time.

But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do...
Angel or devil, i don't care
For, in front of that door...
There is you.
